The Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s quarterly confidence index climbed 8.5 percent to 123 points. The index increased 26.2 percent last year.
“These successive increases (in the index) indicate a positive optimism of entrepreneurs, who consider that globally the economic situation is improving since the last quarter of 2016,” the Chamber of Commerce and Industry said in a statement.
Mauritius’ economy grew by an estimated 3.9 percent in 2017, slightly up from 3.8 percent in 2016. The statistics office said the economy was likely to expand by 4 percent this year, driven by the construction sector.
With a population of 1.3 million, Mauritius’ $14 billion-a-year economy, relies on services like tourism and financial services. Its main trade partners include India and Britain.
